Allied forces did not invade the beaches of Normandy the month after their miraculous evacuation from Dunkirk; and the Rejoicing Teams were not to conquer the Lasker and Karpov sections the month after T46, their Dunkirk. Instead, TheRejoicingKnights, and TheRejoicingChessCrusaders finished 4th of 8 and 4th of 7 respectively.
Top scoring player laurels go to LordTyraad of TheRejoicingChessCrusaders with 5 points out of 6 games, 83.3%; a distant second is BethanyGrace of TheRejoicingKnights with 4 points out of 7 games, 57%.
Below is a selection of wins and draws (I don't think anyone would appreciate the losses being posted). For some reason, Watchbot does not give the last move for many of these games, so find the checkmate in one yourself.

Just looking at these games makes me smile; excellent play! If only all our games could be like these...
T48 will be opening soon, I suspect, so please start thinking of team names for our teams in the next tournament. If anyone would like to keep the same names for the teams that would be fine with me also. Post your suggestions at the forum, as comments, or in a message to me.
Keep playing, have fun, and look forward to our invasion of Normandy...undoubtedly coming soon (for the Allies it was 4 years after Dunkirk, I hope it's sooner for us.)
God bless you all. Good chess to everyone. Go team!
